The Scroll newspaper has been in print since 1905, when BYU-Idaho was known as the Ricks Academy, a locally run school with a newly-developed high school program. At the time this newspaper was known as the “Student Rays,” and was printed monthly. In 1933 the name of the newspaper changed to “The Purple Flash.” In 1937 the name was changed again to “Viking Flashes,” and in 1938 the name finally changed to “The Viking Scroll.” The paper continued under this name until 1972, when it changed to “The Scroll.” The Scroll is still in print at BYU-Idaho as its official newspaper.

The Viking softball team is making the
climb to the top, and the climb just got a
little easier.
Last week's four-game series against
Snow College brought the Vikings four
wins and the right to host the Region 18
Softball Tournament this weekend. The
team ended the season with a record of
19-1 in conference play.
"I'm proud of them to come out and
go 19-1 in the conference" Coach Larry
Stocking said. " I think (we'll) come out
and play well. (We'll) give any team
(we) play a good game."
Ricks College 7, Snow College 0
The Vikings looked confident in their
first game of the series on Friday behind
tough pitching from Maryon DeWitt,
who threw a two-hitter and struck out
eight batters in seven innings of work.
Camie Hales singled in the first inning
and scored on Andrea Davis' RBI single.
Hales was two-for-four, and Davis went
three-for-four with two singles, a double
and three RBIs.
"We came out and established the
tempo right away" Stocking said.
Sharp fielding kept the Badgers at bay
as Ricks took control of the game, hold­ing
Snow scoreless.
Ricks 7, Snow 2
Snow led off the second game of the
series with runs by its first two batters,
but the Badgers' scoring ended there.
Ricks stole the game away after the third
inning behind home runs by Cassie
Alvey and Davis. Davis was two-for-three,
and Alvey was two-for-four in
Friday afternoon's game.
Frandsen went four-for-four, spraying
the outfield with singles, and Stephanie
Kirkland went two-for-four, strengthen­ing
the Vikings' offense.
"Kirkland hit hard and well.. .. (She
is) a clutch hitter" Stocking said.
Ricks 8, Snow 2
Snow scored first in game one of
Saturday's doubleheader, taking a two-run
lead in the top of the fifth inning.
Ricks answered back in the bottom of
the fifth, exploding for five runs and
running away with the game. Kirkland
changed the momentum with a hard hit
down the first base line that resulted in
two RBIs. Alvey followed with a three-run
double to center field.
"We just need one person to start it,
and everyone just follows" Alvey said.
The Vikings dominated the remainder
of the game, scoring three more in the
sixth inning off hits from Alvey, Anna-
Lise Forslund and Hales, holding Snow
to two runs, with good infield play.
Ricks 4, Snow 1
Kirkland came out in the fifth with
two RBIs off her first hit of the game,
and Jessica Grimmer followed with a
score off a Snow error. Snow's next at
bats ended quickly as Ricks easily field­ed
their hits, ending the final game of
the series.
Ricks plays Dixie College Friday at 10
a.m. in the first round of the tournament.
Vikings split series with CSI, take two-game win streak to regionals
BY CASEY HOBSON
Sports editor
The Ricks College baseball team heads to
Twin Falls, Idaho, this weekend to play in the
Region 18 Baseball Tournament, playing its
first game Thursday at 10 a.m. Following game
times will depend on how Ricks fares during
the tournament.
The Vikings split a four-game series with
College of Southern Idaho last weekend. Had
the Vikings swept CSI, they would have landed
the right to host the regional tournament, but
playing at CSI shouldn't bother the team much.
Ricks played 10 games at CSI this year com­pared
to only 15 at home.
"If we had swept them to win it, it would
have been like the World Series around here"
Coach Jerry Schlegelmilch said. "That
could've been to our detriment because then
it's a comedown going into region, and I don't
want that to happen. That's what happened in
'94 ... and we went down in two straight. It
was just kind of an emotional let-down."
'The CSI field doesn't matter to us because
we play there so often" Schlegelmilch said.
"We're just as comfortable there as we are
here."
"It helps to win the last two — a confidence
factor" Schlegelmilch said. "We're a veteran
team, and if (we're) ready to play, and we get a
little hot, we can win the whole thing. We're
still a long shot, ... but if we can get a little hot
and get a little momentum, then things can hap­pen."
Ricks College 3, College of Southern Idaho 9
College of Southern Idaho scored three runs
in the top of the seventh inning and exploded
for six more in the ninth, opening the four-game
series Thursday afternoon with a victory.
CSI's Craig Mosher gave up an RBI single to
Jake Stubblefield in the first inning then shut­down
the Viking offense until the ninth inning
when he allowed two more runs. Mosher sur­rendered
six hits, struck out six and picked two
men off first base. The two pick-offs came
early in the third and fifth innings, killing
potential Viking rallies.
"He was awesome" Schlegelmilch said of
Mosher's performance. 'That's the best game
